Commenting on what went wrong, a source said, "While Mudassar had a soft corner for Sushmita, she only considered him a friend. Initially, the two shared a good rapport and Sushmita could understand Mudassar’s feelings when they started working together for Dulha Mil Gaya. For her, his feelings were what a first time director usually feels for his lead actress. But when reports linking the two started doing the rounds with alarming regularity, Sushmita began wondering who was responsible for leaking the stories to the media.”

What shocked Sushmita further was that Mudassar constantly talked about her in several interviews. “When Sushmita learnt that Mudassar was leaking out stories to the press about their alleged affair, she decided to keep her distance from him. What irritated her further was that he openly voiced his fascination for her. However, they are not on talking terms any longer,” said the source.

Also, the delayed shooting schedule of Dulha Mil Gaya took its toll on the relationship.

The source said, “There’s nothing happening on the Dulha Mil Gaya front. With no shooting taking place, the Sushmita-Mudassar relationship has only soured further. The film has been in the making for three years now and is showing no sign of completion. This has further dashed Mudassar’s hope of having any kind of interaction with Sushmita.”
